Obama, You Got Some 'Splainin To Do!!!!!

From a chain email courtesy of Nils:

Dear President Obama:

I'm planning to move my family and my extended family to Mexico, and I am asking you to assist us.

We will simply walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico; we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.

I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that we are on the way over?

Please let him know we expect the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All Mexican Government forms must be printed in English.

4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.

5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but I won't purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In the event one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my housetop, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.

14. I want to receive free food stamps.

15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.

16. I'll need income tax credits so that although I don't pay Mexican taxes, I'll receive money from the government.

17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Government pays US$4,500.00 to help me buy a new car.

18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. From Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

You're the man!!!

The Nuevo America. . .

Here is Absolut's new ad campaign designed to stoke the the old homefires in ol' Mexico.


Original source: here and thanks to Michelle Malkin too.

Well, hhmmm. Let me breathe deeply for a moment as not to lose my temper only to veer off course into a verbal diatribe so vulgar that even long dead sailors would cringe.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Ok. So this whole reconquista thing? Bring it on Mexico! We'll be glad to beat your asses once again. And I don't mean it's people, I mean it's corrupt, elitist government that has NEVER served the interests of the Mexican population. Isn't the illegal immigration into the United States due to the quite so simple fact that if the Mexican government WORKED PROPERLY, there would be no need for her people to risk life and limb to get into the United States?

Haven't they failed in their role to provide a safe and prosperous society?

Why are we Americans branded as racists when we react to events like thousands of illegal immigrants marching in the streets of LA with upside down American flags demanding rights that they damn surely are not privileged to have? We are a nation of laws.

Let me tell you a story. . .

I can sympathize with people that want to live and work here. I worked as an "undocumented worker" in a foreign country for years. Yes. I BROKE THE LAW at the risk of going to jail and being deported. And I do not apologize for it. I risked it. And why? Well, I was looking for a better life somewhere else too.

I ran out the back door of a restaurant where I worked more than once as the immigration police descended on our little town from time to time with buses that had bars on the windows. We would watch from the safety of the bar down the street as they carted off people that we knew. We watched as people cried and screamed from the buses asking friends to retrieve papers or to call a family member for them. Some I never saw again.

Once it was over, we would be shook up for a while, we "undocumented workers." Obviously, these events would be the hot topic of discussion for the next few days always with a hard eye tuned on the main road coming into town watching for the next raid. But not once. . .never, nunca did we ever think or talk about protesting the government for OUR RIGHTS. We had no rights and we knew it. We were there working illegally. We knew it. They knew it. And THAT was THAT. I couldn't ever fathom marching on the capital with the country flag flying upside down chanting "queremos nuestros derechos!" We want our rights! Foolish. We would have been beaten to death by some very angry "locales". We knew we had no rights. There was no ACLU or La Raza to help us. We were breaking the law and were willing to pay whatever consequences there may have been. I expected no help from anyone. And if I got caught? I had three days to gather my things a leave the country voluntarily or risk prison time and then deportation. I never asked anything from that government.

Anyway, this is what pisses me off: Why is America responsible for these illegal immigrants? As I see it, the responsibility falls into the lap of the Mexican government. They've been screwing around, screwing each other and in the process, screwing themselves by not creating a vibrant and fully functional country. There is no reason other than failed leadership for the poverty and strife that is so rampant in Mexico. Canada is our neighbor too, but you don't see them scurrying across the border in the middle of the night. Why? Because their government WORKS.

You want to live in America? Why don't you try to make your own America in Mexico.

As for the Absolut ad? I find it offensive, ridiculous and unconstructive given the current plight of the Mexican people. This ad does nothing to generate a feeling of patriotism for Mexicans and Mexico, it only focuses the blame somewhere else and who better to bear the albatross of other's sins than the United States of America.

By the way, if protesting is your thing, feel free to protest to the info you find below:
